Direct answer
Address rules differ by jurisdiction: some require a local registered office, some a physical business location tied to the licence, and some a registered agent. Confirm the rule with the authority first, then choose an arrangement that meets it. In Hong Kong, the primary authority for the guidance we rely on is Companies Registry.
